Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

12015-09-17T21:40:56-07:00Networked Synesthesia2plain2016-07-06T09:44:50-07:00The S-1 Speculative Sensation Lab’s “Networked Synesthesia” performance on October 19, 2013, showcased a multi-player, multi-sensory modular computer interface that can be described as a reticulation of parts of bodies, or better, of delimited affects, since the sensors could register effects from non-bodily sources. This was developed in contrast to Bernard Stiegler’s focus on human memory as the substrate or regime of individuation qua the technical distribution of community.
A “general organology,” an idea Stiegler picks up from Simondon, was from the beginning meant to investigate the simplest of technical objects: the technical element. This stems from two of Simondon’s premises: one being that “technicity,” the real essence of the technical object, finds its purest expression in the element, rather than the more complex technical individual or technical ensemble; the other premise being that technicity refers only to technical objects. Regarding the latter, Stiegler obviously broadens the scope of technics to a legitimate generality of intersubjective constructs like language and non-conscious techniques. But with the former, he preserves at least the sense, if not the actuality, of the simple technical element with his moral concern for a somewhat artisanal know-how (savoir-faire).
“Networked Synesthesia” seeks to disrupt Stiegler’s organology of knowledge and the Living Present by providing a platform of nodes/organisms engaged in a community of experimentation. The various networks, from the perceived network of electronic modules and screen to the realité en réseau of individual participant’s activity-surveying ends or needs, are readily apparent and not worth delineating here.
